Month: April 2015

I don’t know if you get Netflix streamed into your house, but this is a really cool series about Mary, Queen of Scots and her marriage to the French King: Louis. It’s called Reign. Pretty rich girls with all sorts of problems (if you can imagine that?!) But I like it! Historical fiction makes history…

In high school, I took two years of French. And I remember seeing this mystical and mysterious abbey. I so wanted to go there some day. Well, I’m booked in Normandy, France for two nights so I’ll finally be doing that too. I love the hotel. It’s a little chateau or French Country estate near…

I’ve booked the first leg of my trip to Paris. I wanted to be able to take a walk by Notre Dame, so I ended up on the Right Bank near the Bastille. That’s where the French used to lock up the aristocrats before…la guillotine. Paris also has a Disneyland, but I’m not going. You…

I’m more familiar with the OTHER British “boy” band: The Beatles. But I’m thinking you might prefer this more modern version of their song. I don’t know if you watch Glee? (I don’t – I netflix a lot) But the few times I’ve seen it, I’ve been impressed with the amazing young people on the…

I have NO idea if you hate these British gentlemen or not. But, I like this song. And yes, I’ve booked the first leg of my trip to London. I really like the hotel. It’s small, cheap but posh. I’m a stone’s throw from royalty: Kensington Palace where Prince William and Kate live. So,…

Ok, this is another oldie, but a goodie! You gotta know this one about New York. This country girl is so excited to see this amazing city again! Probably will wake up “in the city that doesn’t sleep” and will walk Central Park until my legs fall off! But that’s OK! Got a LONG transatlantic…

Time to start figuring out where I’m going to hang out in between flights and day trips. Tonight, I’m booking New York. I’ve been there before. A long time ago: I was eight, your grandparents took me to New York City. I did not get to see the Statue of Liberty, but I did get…

Also at the Science Center, I saw the Dead Sea Scroll exhibit and the IMAX movie: Jerusalem. Yes, I needed to see it a third time! These scrolls are almost 2,000 years old! (By the way, that prayer on your charm is 3,000 years old. I had NO idea it was that old!) Yeah, I…

Hi girlies! I’m sorry I haven’t posted today. I went to the Science Center in LA again. I saw the Space Shuttle Endeavor. I always get choked up watching the lift off of these space shuttles. It is so amazing to me that humans have the ability to shoot ourselves into the stars. Can you…

This is a bit too opera- ish, I admit. But I sang this song (same melody, less opera) last night in temple. A very good friend is retiring and moving away. Her husband and I have sung this song together for years. Last night was the last night we were able to sing it together…
